By comparison, closed cell foam is rigid, dense, and water-resistant, with minimal airflow since the cells are tightly packed. Thus, it's used for insulation, packing materials, and even yoga mats.

Filastereans, for example, can adopt an amoeba-like shape, with long arms, that can divide into daughter cells, but they can also take on an armless, nondividing form.

A marine sponge from Mauritius has shown potential as the source of compounds that kill liver cancer cells.

Prior to this era, the world was dominated by single-celled amoeba, algae, and bacteria for over 2 billion years. The Avalon explosion saw a sudden surge in biodiversity, with sea sponges and other ...

The researchers compared their newly sequenced genomes of the comb jellyfish, two marine sponges, two single-celled animals (choanoflagellates and amoeba), and a microbial fish parasite related to ...

New research from a group of international climate scientists shows that so-called "zombie viruses" once revived, can infect amoeba cells. The study, published in the open journal Viruses, looked ...

New research from a group of international climate scientists shows that so-called “zombie viruses” once revived, can infect amoeba cells.

Amoeboid vegetative cells constantly coordinate cell growth and division through signals that inform each other about their density and nutrient availability (Loomis, 2014).
